Summary of Test Method4.1 Each test engine is assembled with many new parts andessentially all aspects of assembly are specified in detail.4.2 The test stand is equipped to control speed, torque,AFR,and various other operating parameters.4.3 The test is run for a total of 216 h, con

44、sisting of 54cycles of 4 h each. Each cycle consists of three stages.4.4 While the operating conditions are varied within eachcycle, overall they can be characterized as a mixture oflow-temperature and moderate-temperature, light and mediumduty operating conditions.4.5 To accelerate deposit formatio

45、n, the level of oxides ofnitrogen in the blowby and the rate of blowby into thecrankcase are significantly increased. The fresh air breathing ofthe crankcase is eliminated and the oil and coolant tempera-tures are lowered to induce condensation of water and fuel.4.6 The performance of the test engin

46、e oil is evaluated at theend of the test by dismantling the engine and measuring thelevel of deposit formation.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is used to evaluate an automotiveengine oils control of engine deposits under operating condi-tions deliberately selected to accelerate deposit f

47、ormation. Thistest method was correlated with field service data, determinedfrom side-by-side comparisons of two or more oils in police,taxi fleets, and delivery van services. The same field serviceoils were then used in developing the operating conditions ofthis test procedure.D6593 13b35.2 This te

48、st method, along with other test methods, definesthe minimum performance level of the API Category SL(detailed information about this category is included in Speci-fication D4485). This test method is also incorporated inautomobile manufacturers factory-fill specifications.5.3 The basic engine used

49、in this test method is representa-tive of many that are in modern automobiles. This factor, alongwith the accelerated operating conditions, should be consideredwhen interpreting test results.6.
